Hey everyone, this is episode number 11 of The Absolute Mind Podcasts.

And today I'll be talking about social anxieties and how we can

rid ourselves of these horrible unwanted feelings around social situations. At the end of this podcast as

always there will be a hypnosis section which you can all keep and listen to from this day forth

and continue growing and learning living your life without limits.

So let's get started talking about social anxiety.

Social anxiety can make your life a complete living hell, but you can change it. You can make changes from today just by understanding where it comes from and using

social anxiety, it can come in many different waves and it can affect you in different levels

depending upon the person. It can make being in a social situation completely unbearable, leaving you on a level of your life being

if what you're experiencing at this minute or at this time is actually social anxiety. So let me give you a few little signs so you can

yourself a little bit more help and talk to somebody. So your typical signs of social anxiety
